UT3 DM-Deck 17?

12-28-2016, 11:30 PM

Years ago I played this UT 2003 version of Deck titled DM-Deck 17. It was bright, colorful and smooth. Very nice looking Deck map IMO. Exactly the opposite of UT3's gritty dirty ash-tray looking Deck and other custom DM-Decks I've downloaded so far.

Can anyone point me to a UT3 conversion of this Deck 17? Or something close....?

Don't know if I ever seen or played a Deck17 version. Pretty sure the FPS version of the original one was the one most servers had. As Deck17 has already a similar layout and UT3 players didn't mind the grunge look that much, likely no one has created a similar map with a bright look.

If you really prefer the UT2004 kinda of look and layout, you can convert it on your own. Check the converter thread here:UT3 Converter2 - 0.25c

Here, OP. I was gonna wait to see if anyone would post the map, but since nobody can find it, there's another option. Although it's not gonna be the prettiest option. And you'll have to do a little bit of work.

There's a tool called UT3 Converter2. It works by allowing you to import your old maps into a newer UT. Assuming you own a copy of UT2004, you can just take any map from there and slap it into the tool and let it work it's magic. Afterwards though, you may have to make some last little touches to the converted map in the editor to fully finish the conversion. After looking at the instructional video for this though, it looks like this may actually take some time in your case.

However, when completed, you'll have a map nobody else has! Or at least a map nobody has released to download yet. :P And yes, I've done this before. Although it was a UT to UT2004 conversion. The map played beautifully.

Comment

The "Deck Map Pack" contains 1 version of Deck I like--it's very different than UT2004's Deck 17 but still a very nice addition to my map collection. It's smooth low poly with interesting lighting and reflective surfaces. Bright and clean. Maybe someday I'll try to convert UT2004's Deck 17 to UT3 but the video looks pretty complicated to me. I recently purchased UT2004 EC so I have Deck 17 anyway. Gives me an excuse to play UT2004 more now--it's interesting to note the differences between UT2004 & UT3. Each game has its strengths and I like them both about equally now.

Thanks but this version causes major crash the second it starts loading. I have Deck-FPS (best IMO) and Pro2 already (don't like the ice&snow). Looks like yet another Deck with that ugly dirty ash-tray environment anyway. Nice playing map I bet (if no crash) but not the colorful, bright and smooth look of Deck 17.
